Thread Name: Tune Req: Haste to the Wedding (F A Fahy)
Subject: Tune Add: HASTE TO THE WEDDING (F A Fahy)
Here's a transcription of the song as sung by Sean Tyrell on "The Ould Plaid Shawl." Then I've followed this by the jig "Haste to the Wedding." The tunes are not the same, although the song could perhaps be adapted to the fiddle tune without too much difficulty. I'd prefer to sing the song as Sean Tyrell sang it, and then follow it with the fiddle tune.
The abc file is below (with the words to the first verse and chorus, followed by the jig). Copy and paste this into Concertina , then click on SUBMIT and you will have the score, a midi, and a printable copy of the music in pdf format.
